This is what we know so far (attention: unverified history!):
Actor Robert De Niro should stay away from Hollywood's Chateau Marmont. On March 4, 1982, he and Robin Williams visited John Belushi in one of the hotel's exclusive bungalows (history has it as either Bungalow 2 or 3.) The next day Belushi was found dead of an apparent drug overdose. Then in 1988, De Niro was burglarized twice while he stayed at the bungalows, apparently because he likes to sleep with the sliding doors open. (Bob baby, take a hint!) The first time, the thief took a sports jacket, cassettes and a camera. The second time, the burglar ran off with the keys to his Mercedes--and the car. The car was later recovered, but there is no word about the sports jacket. We suggest that De Niro book a room at the Mondrian from now on.

Happiness is made to be shared, knew the great French dramatist Jean Baptiste Racine (†1699).
